Figurative Writing

“O’ spider will you dance (personification), and kill the fiend (hyperbole) so I too can dance,” enchanted by the old shaman. This is a spiritual ritual of my tribe, involving the use of ten spiders and some bizarre spells for protection of one’s home from jeopardy or danger. There are also some spells that can make a person as strong as an elephant (simile) and as quick as a leopard (simile). This has been practised for hundred of years and is one of the unique characters in our tribe. The old shaman is my great grandfather and aged 121 years old. He is old at age but young at heart (metaphor). 

Idiomatic Expression Essay

Izzulkarnain have a bad hair day. In this whole week, he was cheesed off with his twin sister, Izzati. His twin has always made him blows a gasket with anything they can argue about. Yesterday, the brother has a bone to pick with the little sister and unfortunately the brother cut no ice with her attitude of making much ado about nothing.  “Poor him,” I told to myself.

On the next day, their father got home and saw them argued like cat and dog. I’ve told him that the twin have been like this in this whole week. The father decided to clear the air and do some blame storming with them. The twin told everything to their father. The father smiled. Then, he talked to them nicely and shows great fatherhood. In the end, the twin apologised to each other and to their father as well.

From a distance, I smiled and felt so happy just by looking at them. Dear me, the father has already home and I haven’t serve him a cup of coffee yet. Such a bizarre family I have and yet I’m perfectly contented with it.

Hobbies and Interests

If you have a spare time, what will you do? Are you going to stay still like dummy and do nothing? Of course you don't. People have hobbies and interests.

Hobbies or interests is a physical activities that one person have and like to do during his/her spare time. So, a person always have more than one hobbies and interest. Although, there is a huge significant of differences between hobbies and interests.

People have interest first before it evolves to hobbies. This is because people must take their interest in one thing before they began to love it. As example, you wouldn't love football if you don't take interest in it. There, when the interest is build up in you, you begin to search an info about it, you try to learn the football skills and show your passions with friends. As for interests, you only show a glimpse of passion in it, or so they say.

People love to read novels, love to cooks and else. The spare time can be filled with not only the hobbies, but also the learning process in it and the passion to it. Why can't you be?
